Chapter 113 Cashmere Sheep
After signing the contract, Mei Mei and Mei You felt completely refreshed.
After leaving the store, Meiberry couldn't help but take another look at the deed that guaranteed her family's future food and clothing.
Meiberry found out the name of the owner who signed the contract with them through the deed -
Wang Beigu.
After reading the deed, Meiberry carefully put it into the space under the cover of her satchel.
Mei Bei was still thinking about her thousand kilograms of grain. The two waited at the city gate until Mei Youqian appeared again. Mei You took the initiative to give in and said that she would go elsewhere to look. The rest of the time was left for Mei Bei and Mei You.
Post Qian.
After Meiberry met her father, she couldn't wait to go to the small courtyard their family temporarily rented. Meiberry collected all the food piled in the courtyard into the space.
After collecting it, Meiberry felt completely relaxed, and the father and daughter told each other what had happened before.
When he heard that the soap business could make a lot of money, Mei Youqian's eyes widened instantly. While feeling surprised, he remembered what Mei Pei had said about Lin Shoucai, and said, "Ah, looking at his smiling and wealthy appearance, he turns out to be the shopkeeper.
?”
"Yeah, the key is that every time you call him boss, he still responds."
"Hey, what's the point? Ordinary people don't understand this. They won't correct you if they call you wrong. Who is willing to listen to the shopkeeper when you can be called boss?"
Mei Youqian could understand the other person's thoughts very well. After talking about this topic, Mei Youqian immediately changed the topic and said: "I just saw a lot of excitement at the dock. They said that many sheep were transported from the north and sold alive!"
"Ah?! Selling sheep?"
Meiberry was also surprised. The town usually only sells chickens, ducks, hares and the like, but very few large livestock such as sheep.
There won't be any sales for at least these two days.
"Yes, it's so fresh! Many people have come to join in the fun."
What Mei Youqian said was nothing more than that his family also went to join in the fun.
"Let's buy some things first and then we'll go take a look."
Meibei didn't want to join in the fun, but her father was just the opposite, so Meibei could only think of a compromise - staggering the peak flow of people.
Facts have proved that Mayberry's method is very good.
After they bought a lot of things, when they came to the place selling sheep again, there were already a lot of people around.
At a glance, Mei Berry noticed that Mei You was also standing among them, looking at the sheep in front of her, and seemed to want to buy them.
Meiberry and his father also came forward. Someone happened to be passing by, and they heard the two talking:
"Are you crazy? A cashmere sheep costs fifteen taels of silver? When I bought the best local sheep last autumn, it only cost less than eighty taels."
"Who says it's not the case? Although this sheep brought from Hanzhou looks quite big, how much wool does it have? I guess the meaty areas are much less than our local sheep."
After hearing what they said, Mayberry looked at these sheep carefully. The hair on their bodies was quite long and thick, a bit like sheep, so they could deserve the title of "cashmere sheep".
"Sister, are you coming to see the sheep too?" Mei Bei came close to Mei You. Mei You, who was picking sheep by herself, heard the noise and glanced at Mei Bei's bulging satchel and the backpack on her second uncle's body, and nodded slightly.
"Well, after slaughtering in winter, the meat can be eaten, and even the sheepskin is a good thing."
When Meiyou mentioned the sheepskin plumberry, she felt a little moved.
Their family had bought muslin cloth twice before.
Once in a cloth shop in the town.
The price of a small piece is five or six times that of linen or Gebu, and it is almost as good as silk.
Once I was with a salesman who went to the village to sell goods.
Although the price was a bit cheaper, when I took it home, Wei Meili discovered that the cotton fabric had some flaws, which may have been caused by it being stored for a long time. Not only did it fade, but it also became moldy.
Later, after a long time, Meiberry and his family discovered that the fine cotton cloth they bought was so expensive, mainly because these cotton cloths were not produced by Dacheng itself, and some foreign businessmen came to sell them every year.
No one in the country currently grows cotton.
Therefore, even if there is no penalty for failure of the branch check-in given by the system, Meiberry must find a way to complete it.
That's cotton, the kind with seeds!
Meiberry stared at the sheep that looked like clouds, and then recalled that when her family discovered that there was no cotton in the country, they were still wondering what was in the quilt at home.
At that time, the family quickly remembered that the quilt at that time was mixed with some animal fur, catkins, and crushed hay.
It was quite disgusting to her mother at that time.
Fortunately, the weather was getting hot, so her mother turned the burlap that Widow Chen had made some time ago into a summer blanket to cover her body.
Two days ago, she was talking to her dad about collecting some leather. When the weather gets cold, it would be good to make it into clothes or quilts.
Now, isn’t this ready-made?
What Mei You said was not only heard by Mei Pei, but also by Mei Youqian.
Mei You saw that the Mei Pei family seemed to want to buy too, so he asked Mei Youqian how many heads he wanted to buy, hoping that Mei Youqian would come forward and the two of them would go back and buy them together.
Along the way, Mei You said she wanted to help pick the sheep and said she had experience.
Mei Youqian had no objection to this request, as his family just had no experience.
The two families happened to make the calculation together, so they bought three sheep at a time. After confirming, Mei You and Mei Youqian went to pay the money to pick the sheep.
Buying sheep was just a temporary pleasure, but after buying the sheep, the three of them began to worry.
Because the ship they took earlier did not allow such medium and large livestock to be brought on board.
Regarding this matter, Mei Youqian could only go to the dock to inquire about the passenger ship carrying the cargo.
Meiberry and Meiyou took six cashmere sheep and found a shade tree beside the pier. They bought some food and drink and rested there.
Meiyou took another look at the bamboo basket at Meiberry's house next to her. Seeing how full it was, she couldn't help but wonder what Meiberry had bought in such a short period of time.
"What did you buy?"
"Vegetable seeds, and some food. Oh! We bought some braised food. I originally thought that no one here eats braised food. But my dad and I discovered the last time we came to the county. There is a home in the county that makes braised food.
For meat, they also have braised sesame water and pig trotters~
And the price is a little cheaper than braised pork, but people are not very willing to buy it. The main reason is that the shop owner likes it~ so he makes it. If it is sold, he will sell it. If it cannot be sold, he will eat it himself. "
This kind of news is basically a trick that Meiberry and her father tricked others into buying things.
"Sister, today my dad bought four braised pig trotters, two pig ears and some pig head meat. Do you want it? I'll share some with you~"
When Meiberry buys things, she usually won't put them into the space if she can consume them all in the near future.
She pointed at the oil-soaked paper bags in her backpack and looked at Mei You.
Seeing that Mei Bei was not really polite to her, Mei You pursed her lips, nodded and said, "Well, some pig head meat will be fine."
I thought Meiyou would ask for pig's feet, but ended up asking for pork head.
If Mei Bei asked the reason, Mei You would definitely tell Mei Bei that if you saw those mutated wild boars in the last days using those mutated and iron-wrapped pig feet to kick a zombie in the head every day, you would want to eat those things!
Neither will the similar ones!
Meiberry handed the oil-paper bag holding part of the pig's head meat to Meiyou, and Meiyou put the pig's head meat into a shoulder bag similar to the one Meiberry was carrying.
Unlike Mayberry's bag, which is almost stretched into a ball shape, her bag still has a lot of space.
"Sister, you didn't just buy a sheep today, did you?"
Meiyou: "Yeah."
Mayberry: “??”
What a terrible willpower?
The conversation between the two suddenly ended when Meiyou didn't buy anything. Meiyou always felt uncomfortable, so she pulled out a few dusty lumps from her basket.
"Sister, what do you think this is?"
"Taro?" Mei You recognized it immediately when she saw a few dusty lumps of soil in Mei Berry's hand.
"Yes!" Mei Qian was also very happy at this moment, "My dad and I bought it from the market and they brought it from the south!"
When Meiberry mentioned taro, she thought of taro-roasted meat, and then sighed: "Unfortunately, I still haven't seen potatoes or sweet potatoes."
Speaking of several high-yielding crops from later generations, except for corn, we really haven’t seen any of them here.
"By the way, there's also cotton!"
Recalling her thoughts when she was looking at the cashmere sheep, Mei Mei mentioned to Mei You that there was no cotton cultivation in most parts of the country.
When Meiyou said this, the expression on her face suddenly became strange.
It was obvious that Mei Xi had not noticed this before.
Previously, Mei You only thought that there was some old cotton wool in the quilt, so it was stiff and hard to sleep on.
Now according to what Mei Bei said, Mei You suddenly turned around and looked at the three sheep she had just bought.
The cashmere sheep that were grazing silently suddenly trembled all over...
Mei You: What I’m looking at is not a sheep, but a quilt!
